Don't Worry Classic

Tap to rate

The alcohol-free Classic brings the familiar sweetness of caramel malt. Hints of fruit and citrus interplay elegantly with the dark malt, so it feels every bit like a Vienna lager, just without the alcohol. Callista and Mandarina are the hops, and it is fermented bottom-up, as is the alcoholic Classic. The brewery pairs it with lunch dishes and classic Danish dishes.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel sweetness and toasted malt depth, followed by emerging fruity and citrus notes from the Callista and Mandarina hops. There is an inviting bready quality layered beneath, with hints of dark grain and subtle toasted grain complexity. The overall bouquet feels substantial and well-crafted despite the low alcohol presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full caramel sweetness balanced by restrained but clean hop bitterness (25 IBU). Mid-palate reveals malty depth with bready, toasty notes that echo the aroma, while citrus and stone fruit undertones provide refreshing counterpoint. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, with a slight crisp edge that prevents the beer from becoming cloying.
